If you go with RK DO NOT get the Mid-rm kit because it is all marketing hype. As someone else noted it pushes your axle back an inch "allowing your wheel to be centered in the opening".
Blah blah blah. This also causes your rear coils to look like slinkies (yes, even with the POS correction wedges), your passenger side track bar mount to smash into the bumpstop, and in my case, the track bar to whack the diff cover. You also have to move the sway bay mounting brackets back an inch on the frame. In other words it is not a bolt on & go kit. You have to piss around with the rear way too much when there are other kits out there that are as good, if not better, that you don't have to do so much adjusting & relocating after the fact. I'm ok with the ride but I'd say that it's middle of the road as far as stiffness.
Also, you really have to make sure the joints are straight on the arms and to torque them down properly is a real bitch. Someone made a jig that allows you to do this but really, you shouldn't have to make your own goddam jig to install a damn lift kit.
IMHO, this is a middle of the road kit. I can't speak towards the standard kit (non mid-arm) but you still have the issue of getting the joints straight regardless of the kit.
Currie has a great kit but its a little expensive. EVO just came out with an 8 arm kit too and it looks damn stout. Honestly, you don't even really need an 8 arm kit. Any reason to not go with something like the EVO Enforcer kit?
